a Western Canadian new to Chinese bikes [longer]
Hi Everyone,
I recently decided to take the plunge and placed an order for two (one for my wife and one for me) of these: http://www.panterramotors.ca/150ccdb.html I think they may be Hensim bikes: http://www.fancyscooter.com/item0133...dirt-bike.html ...but I'll check with the distributor. I got them for a really good deal from an Autosports store in Regina, Saskatchewan. I basically got both for still half the price of a comparable Honda. One of the reasons, besides price, I got into these is because I always hear the old guys talk about the good ole days - tinkering and customizing Japanese cars and motorcycles in the 60s and 70s. While I admire Honda, etc. for their quality products, it's great to have a chance to see what the good ole days may have been like with these upstart Chinese manufacturers. 8) I know there will be minor problems but for what I need these should fit the bill and I love tinkering on unknown shite. My wife thinks they're arriving at the end of June but I think they may be in today - hoping to surprise her. We'll see... Cheers, Rian P.S. Fav. Chinese bike so far is this: http://www.xxx-motorsports.com/200cc...b06-p-164.html With street tires that thing would be the shite :twisted: . I may look at importing one later this summer. |
